Prospects for Horse Property Owners

Published by admin under orlando horse properties

You have the Orlando Horse Property and the know-how when it comes to caring for horses, what about turning these attributes into an income producing investment? Opening a boarding stable on your property can offset the expense of maintaining your own horses as a small business, or it can generate profit for the more serious entrepreneur.

With Orlando Florida being a prime tourist attraction, offering horseback riding lessons to vacationers could be an added feature to your equestrian stable venture. Also, if your  property has access to any horse trails, you could rent riding horses out by the hour.

Here are a few steps you should consider:

  • First,  search other Orlando horse properties in your area and see if you have any competition. If you discover you do have local competition, find out how much they charge for basic boarding, cleaning, and feeding horses. How big is their stable and property?
  • Find out the zoning requirements of your property and what permits you may need.
  • Look into what type of liability insurance you will need to board horses and give riding lessons in the Orlando area.
  • Review your capital. You may need to build out an existing structure or build a new one. Consider your equipment and other start up costs.
  • Will you need to hire staff?
  • Lastly, if you are ready to move forward, incorporate your business. This is inexpensive and protects you and your assets.
